Ipswich vs Brentford Prediction: Can the Bees build on their impressive momentum?

Ipswich vs Brentford Premier League Prediction Match Details

Already relegated, Ipswich Town will take on European-chasing Brentford on Saturday at noon at Portman Road. Can the Bees build on their impressive momentum?

Ipswich Preview & Form

Ipswich Town's relegation back to the Championship was already confirmed some weeks ago, and they are now playing for pride. The Tractor Boys have struggled with form since the start of the campaign, as they have managed only four wins since returning to the top flight for the first time in 22 years this season. They are currently on a five-match winless streak in the Premier League, losing three games and drawing two games. However, despite having nothing left to play for aside from pride, Kieran McKenna's men came from two goals down to peg Everton to a 2-2 draw at Goodison Park last weekend. They will now hope to replicate the form against European-chasing Brentford as they hope to secure their second win at Portman Road this campaign. Currently, Kieran McKenna's men sit 18th in the Premier League standings with 22 points from 35 Premier League games.

Kieran McKenna's men are currently struggling with form at Portman Road this season, as only Southampton have picked up fewer Premier League points at home. They are currently desperate to end a run of seven consecutive home losses with two or more goals conceded in each of the games.

Brentford Preview & Form

Brentford are taking some significant steps to propel themselves firmly into the top half and have a good chance of a top-eight or nine finish and potential UEFA Europa Conference League qualification this season. The Bees have now won each of their last three successive Premier League games and are unbeaten in their last five league games. Last weekend, Thomas Frank's men extended their winning streak to three games by beating Manchester United 4-3 at the Gtech Community Stadium, thanks to a brace from Kevin Schade, a Yoane Wissa goal, and a Luke Shaw own goal. The Bees head to this weekend's game sitting ninth in the Premier League standings with 52 points from 35 games, a point behind eighth-place Bournemouth. The Bees have been enjoyable to watch recently, having scored ten goals in their last three games while conceding five goals.

Thomas Frank's men are currently enjoying impressive road form, losing just once in their last nine Premier League games while winning six of the games. The Bees will now be hoping to carry the momentum against Ipswich, who have managed only one win at home this season.
